BHR with stem Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of BHR with stem in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

This page reads 'BHR with stem' as a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing-type metal-on-metal hip implant combined with a femoral stem. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Implant system: and availability.
• Surgery and stay
• Blood metal-ion tests and imaging: for long-term follow-up.
• Physiotherapy

The meaning of this page name is uncertain and is flagged in the audit report.

The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) alert MDA/2015/024 on the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing system advises against its use in women and in men needing a femoral head of 46 mm or smaller. It recommends yearly review for the life of the implant, with imaging (MARS MRI or ultrasound) and blood metal ion tests when indicated; levels above 7 parts per billion suggest a possible problem.

Metal-on-metal implants can release metal particles, which may cause local tissue reactions. Regular review allows problems to be found early.

Planned orthopaedic surgery needs prior approval from the insurer under basic UAE health plans, and co-payments apply. Ask whether implants, physiotherapy and follow-up visits are part of a quote.
